1 LEED C M D, B E LEED P P P 2012 The Peabody Terrace dormitory complex, designed in 1963 by Sert, Jackson & Gourley, is a composi on of low rise and high rise towers that form a series of shared open spaces across from the Charles River. In addi on to a separate, ongoing envelope repair, abatement, and waterproofing program to preserve the exterior façade, the Peabody Terrace Graduate Commons project in Building E included renova ng the common areas and new residen al Director's Suite within the exis ng floor plan. Building Owner, Harvard University Housing, tasked the project team with designing the spaces to update HVAC systems, maximize dayligh ng, reduce u lity dependency, and incorporate sustainable materials, while maintaining the integrity of the original exterior design and the character of the interior aesthe c. Photo: Copyright David Kurtis, 2012 Throughout each phase, the project team embraced the challenges of renova ng a significant architectural landmark. For example, because of the low ceiling heights and the lack of typical floor and ceiling cavi es, the integra on of new HVAC systems and ductwork while adhering to current building code proved difficult. Furthermore, the design team took par cular care in preserving and re using acous cal wood paneling that is prevalent in the lobby and Common Room area, recognizing this system as a significant design feature to the building s history.

E E Harvard University Housing (HUH) has committed, along with Harvard University as a whole, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 30% below 2006 levels by 2016, inclusive of growth.

H /C S ECM 1: ECM 2: ECM 3: ECM 4: ECM 5: Variable Air Volume Control (VAV) - VAV terminals control the amount of air delivered to each room.

In addition, VAV systems provide a greater level of dehumidification than a conventional constant volume system, which enhances building occupants overall thermal comfort.

This is achieved by mixing exhaust air with outside air so that the outside air temperature and humidity fall within the desired range.

2 E E Harvard University Housing (HUH) has committed, along with Harvard University as a whole, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 30% below 2006 levels by 2016, inclusive of growth. Therefore, the following energy conservation measures (ECMs) were implemented as part of the Peabody Terrace Commons project. H /C S ECM 1: ECM 2: ECM 3: ECM 4: ECM 5: Variable Air Volume Control (VAV) - VAV terminals control the amount of air delivered to each room. The ability for VAV terminals to adjust fan speed reduces the energy consumed by the fans. In addition, VAV systems provide a greater level of dehumidification than a conventional constant volume system, which enhances building occupants overall thermal comfort. Air-Side Economizing - Air economizing offers free cooling and, in turn, reduces cooling load energy usage when outside air temperatures are ideal. This is achieved by mixing exhaust air with outside air so that the outside air temperature and humidity fall within the desired range. Occupancy Sensors - Occupancy sensors control the operation of the variable air volume terminal units for the first floor Commons room and the surrounding rooms. Operable Windows - Operable windows provide residents with natural ventilation and control over the thermal conditions of their space. In some cases, this alleviates the need to cool spaces and, in turn, reduces energy usage associated with cooling loads. Thermostats - Thermostats provide a high level of thermal comfort system control by building occupants.

A combination of wall-mounted infrared occupancy sensors and dual technology ceiling sensors were installed throughout. These occupancy sensors combine the benefits of passive infrared (PIR) and ultrasonic technologies to detect occupancy. In total, occupancy sensors control 76% of the lighting load. Daylight Sensors - Daylight sensors adjust artificial lighting levels based on the amount of daylight entering the space. This is ideal over a conventional lighting system that has the inability to dim lighting fixtures. Energy Star Equipment - Energy Star equipment was selected for 100% of Energy Star-eligible equipment in this project. This includes refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers.. 2
